When I first played Undertale, I expected a quirky indie RPG — what I got instead was a game that made me question every choice I made. The Protagonist, often called Chara in fan circles, is not your typical silent hero. In a neutral run, they're a mirror reflecting your morality, your curiosity, and sometimes, your cruelty.

If you're curious about what makes The Protagonist tick — and how they might respond to your questions — here are 10 meaningful questions worth asking, along with why they matter.

1. "Why did you choose to fall?"

This is the moment that sets everything in motion. The Protagonist falls into the Underground, crossing paths with Toriel, and ultimately shaping the fate of the monsters trapped below. Asking them why they fell — whether by accident or intent — can reveal how they view their own agency. Do they see themselves as a victim of fate, or did they choose this path deliberately?

2. "How do you feel about sparing monsters?"

In a neutral run, sparing is the default, but it's not always easy. Some monsters are frightening, others are aggressive. Asking The Protagonist how they feel about sparing life — especially when they could easily fight back — opens up a conversation about empathy and choice. It’s a question that can reveal how they weigh danger against compassion.

3. "What was your first impression of Toriel?"

Toriel is the first real connection The Protagonist makes in the Underground. She’s protective, nurturing, and deeply flawed. This question gets at how they process kindness, especially from someone who is essentially a stranger. Did they trust her immediately, or did it take time? Their answer could say a lot about their own worldview.

4. "Did you ever consider leaving the Underground?"

The option is always there — you can walk away from the journey at any time. Asking The Protagonist if they ever thought about turning back reveals their motivation. Were they driven by curiosity, a sense of duty, or something else entirely? It’s a window into what keeps them going when things get difficult.

5. "How do you decide when to fight or flee?"

Combat in Undertale is more than just a game mechanic — it’s moral calculus. Even in a neutral run, there are moments of tension. Asking how they make that split-second decision — fight or spare — can lead to a deeper conversation about instinct, morality, and personal boundaries.

6. "What was the hardest battle you faced?"

It’s not always the strongest monster that leaves the deepest mark. The Protagonist might remember the battle where they almost gave in to violence, or the one where they felt the most fear. This question helps uncover their emotional journey — what haunts them, what defines their limits.

7. "Do you think you made the right choices?"

This is the ultimate question. In a game where every decision matters, asking The Protagonist if they stand by their choices invites reflection. They might surprise you — maybe they regret a moment of weakness, or maybe they’re proud of how they handled a tough situation. It’s a way to explore their self-awareness.

8. "What do you think happens after the Underground?"

The Protagonist rarely speaks, but they’re always watching. Asking them what they believe comes next — whether it’s returning home, staying underground, or something else — gives insight into how they see the world beyond their journey. Are they hopeful, resigned, or uncertain?

9. "Do you remember your past?"

Chara’s identity is a haunting presence in Undertale, especially in a neutral run where their shadow lingers. Asking The Protagonist if they remember who they were before the fall can lead to a chilling or comforting response. It’s a question that touches on identity, memory, and the weight of history.

10. "What would you tell someone who’s about to start their own journey?"

If you're about to dive into Undertale yourself, hearing advice from The Protagonist could be a powerful guide. Their words might warn, encourage, or confuse — but they’ll always reflect the path they took. It’s a question that bridges player and character, reminding you that you're not just playing a game — you're walking in someone else’s footsteps.

If you're intrigued by these questions and want to explore The Protagonist’s thoughts firsthand, there's no better way than to ask them yourself. On HoloDream, you can chat with The Protagonist and discover what they truly think — not just about the Underground, but about the choices that define who we are.
